Alrighty.
A wise man once told me that griping the griper was unproductive. To that wise man, I now offer my apologies, and the offering that this exchange is in no way an attempt to disrespect his advice. I've been taking note of this exchange for some time now, and since I feel like I've pretty well grokked it, I'm going to lay down my wooden nickel's worth. Since it's a free country and a list-of-liberty and all. My first observation is that, Steve, you're an asshole. You love to wallow in your own mental feces. I don't know what your personal problems are, but this list and the female members are not your psychologic dumping ground. Now if you've got something like this to say to any female on the list, ( "being as concerned about bandwidth as you are" )my second observation is that you have the option to go private. You did not do this. Now where I come from, if you walk up to somebody's girlfriend or wife and say something like what you've said below to them, you end up with a black eye and checking out the taste of the local dirt. But of course you're not going to go private with shit like you've said below, are you? Because your true aim is not to correct what you propagandize as "OT's" or "bandwidth transgressions." Your true aim is to hurt and embarrass Femme to maximum effect; everything else is just a shield or an excuse. Lack of a private exchange is irrefutable evidence, since a private exchange in your case would have been setting an example for "OT's" or "bandwidth transgressions." I'll tell you this though; if this list was a party or a get together and we were all together in person, I know for a fact that you would not have been as "courageous" as you've been below with your female target. You may be an asshole, but you're not stupid. > > On Sun, 2002-03-24 at 20:48, sda wrote: > > > On Sun, Mar 24, 2002 at 05:20:15PM -0700, FemmeFatale wrote: > > > > We're rough... to idiots. :) > > > For someone who's actually been only posting on this list for what three > > > weeks tops? - You seem to have an awful lot to say about things around > > > here.
